A Delaware Water Gap man wanted on child pornography charges has turned himself in to police.

James Lamb, 54, turned himself in Tuesday morning at Magisterial District Judge Brian Germano's office, according to Monroe County Chief Detective Eric Kerchner.

Detectives said they began investigating Lamb after his wife told them she discovered numerous images of child pornography on his computer.

After she turned the computer over to detectives, they found 86 photos and one video on the computer, as well as evidence that Lamb had been trading child porn through instant messaging, Kerchner said.

Detectives obtained a warrant for Lamb's arrest but were initially unable to locate him. Lamb surrendered after learning from news reports that he was wanted.

Lamb was arraigned before Germano and released on $25,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 12.
